Efficiency and reliablility
Liebherr diesel engines have a high specific power and high
torques in a wide speed range while retaining very good
operating values. They can withstand the toughest require-
ments such as extreme outside temperatures, and can be
used at very high altitudes.
Smooth running
State-of-the-art analysis methods and design procedures
are used to minimize vibration and noise emissions, and to
improve rigidity and material distribution. This ensures that
engines run absolutely quietly and reliably even when used
continuously with fluctuating loads.
Modular engine design
Thanks to an innovative modular system, engines have iden-
tical performances, cooling system requirements and the
same interfaces during installation for regulated and unregu-
lated markets (Tier 0, Stage IIIA, Stage IV and Stage V). This
allows the customer to use the same machine design for vari-
ous emission standards.
Environmental protection
All Liebherr engines comply with statutory emission stan-
dards and thus ensure that less nitrogen oxide and particu-
late matter is discharged. In addition, optimum engine tuning
reduces fuel consumption.

Optimised for operation with natural gas, biogas and special gases, they are suitable for diverse applica-
tions. Customers particularly appreciate that Liebherr supplies the units ready for installation.

6 Components by Liebherr
High availability
Thanks to the high availability of gas engines, short down-
times and low maintenance as well as operating costs are
guaranteed. The key contributor being the accurate dimen-
sioning of the engines, their sophisticated control system and
engine peripherals, high mechanical strength and high re-
sistance to wear. The operating status of the engine, ignition
system and Lambda control is continuously monitored by the
engine control system.
Performance and efficiency
Liebherr gas engines are particularly impressive due to their
performance, a favourable ratio between electrical and ther-
mal power, and high mechanical efficiency of more than
41 %. To achieve these optimum values, Liebherr has opti-
mised the entire combustion process. Quick and complete
combustion allows these high levels of efficiency even with
a lean gas mixture. The engines comply with the provisions
of the Technical Instructions on Air Quality Control (TA Luft).
Ready for installation
The gas engines are manufactured as basic engines as well
as complete engines ready for installation. A gas engine with
the complete equipment consits of a tuned turbocharger,
two-stage intercooler in stainless steel, an ignition system
developed specially for Liebherr, gas mixer and engine con-
trol unit are included as standard.

Fuel injection systems
and engine control units

The operational spectrum of Liebherr Common Rail systems extends from onroad and offroad machines
right up to stationary applications and includes the medium and heavy duty ranges. The highly flexible
system is equally reliable for in-line as well as V-engines and supports compliance with current and
future emission standards. The Liebherr injection technology has already been integrated successfully
in many engine applications in diesel engines by Liebherr as well as in units from other manufacturers.

8 Components by Liebherr
Optimal control and monitoring
Comprehensive functions and configuration options of the
engine control unit ensure optimal control of the fuel injection
system for reliable engine operation. The fuel injection tim-
ing and the fuel amount are calculated individually for each
cylinder, so that the injector's solenoid valve can be corre-
spondingly actuated. The control signal and number of injec-
tions are adapted to the requirements of each engine and
application.
Quality and reliability
All components are specifically designed for the highly dy-
namic loads in on- and off-highway applications. A detailed
product validation plan is worked through in the development
and application process. Prior to injection system delivery the
high pressure pumps, injectors and high pressure connec-
tors are tested for 100 % function and life-cycle quality char-
acteristics on highly efficient test benches

Efficiency and performance

Liebherr Common Rail systems deliver as well a high injec-
tion pressure of 2,200 bar, as a stable multiple injection per
combustion cycle. The very small amount of switching leak-
age not only leads to a higher degree of efficiency and there-
fore lower fuel consumption, but also results in a good toler-
ance of various fuel qualities.

Liebherr designs and manufactures axial piston pumps and motors in swashplate design for open and
closed circuits. Available as constant or variable units, the components offer a wide variety of control
functions and drive through options. Valve or control oil pumps can be integrated. These compact units
thus permit a very flexible machine design.

10 Components by Liebherr
Long service life and reliability
All components are machined with high precision and quality
on state of the art production plants. The optimum design
of the individual parts and special materials guarantee the
virtually wear-free reliable operation of pumps and motors in
continuous operation under pressures of up to 450 bar.
Optimised efficiency and quiet operation
Modern design and simulation programs (FEM and CFD) are
used in the design and calculation of hydraulic pumps and
motors, resulting in the optimization of the housing construc-
tion design, flow paths and commutation. These, in turn,
lead to top efficiency levels and low pressure pulsations. The
noise levels thus reduced are further optimized on Liebherr’s
own acoustic test stand, and in the end devices.
Pilot control devices and valves
As a components supplier for hydraulic systems Liebherr
offers in-house designed and manufactured hydraulic and
electrical pilot control devices and valves in addition to

System solutions

Liebherr supplies system solutions for a wide range of electric or hydraulic drive applications. To ensure
this, Liebherr coordinates the components for a very wide range of (diesel) electric and hydraulic drive­
trains perfectly, using diesel engines, generators, power electronics, electric motors, distributor gears,
hydraulic pumps and motors and the appropriate gearboxes, cable winches and hydraulic cylinders, all
of which are also developed and manufactured by Liebherr.
Furthermore, Liebherr develops control systems with functions for specific applications whose aim is to
improve performance, handling and energy efficiency for every application.
Liebherr uses its enormous application experience and system competence from devices in many sec-
tors of mechanical and plant engineering as well as the offshore and wind industries. This enables the
company to design, simulate and supply highly efficient system solutions requiring low package space
and offering excellent value for money, from a single source and then also to validate them, for example
by taking measurements on prototype devices in the field.

Modular winch systems.
Based on its long term experience as a component manufacturer,
Liebherr supplies winch systems for various applications for hoisting
and transport equipment and also adjustment systems. The winch
systems have been developed using the modular element principle to
cover a wide range of customer needs, thus enabling a system to be
supplied which requires minimal development times.
System solutions for specific applications
Liebherr develops electric and hydraulic drivetrain solutions for
specific applications which improve performance, handling and energy
efficiency.
In this respect, Liebherr can supply everything from a single source,
from field measurements and simulation of the existing system,
creating a concept up to the delivery of the system and its validation.
Modular electric chain drive systems
Modular solutions for electric chain drive systems have the advantage
that the various electric and mechanical components are perfectly
tailored to each other.
These systems can particularly replace hydraulic chain drives in
applications which to date have required an additional hydraulic system
on the device for the drive function.
Drivetrain
Liebherr also offers splitter boxes and axial piston pumps that can
supplement the diesel engines to create a customer-specific drive-
train. All the components are developed and manufactured at Liebherr
sites. They are therefore adapted optimally to each other and form a
compact, powerful system with a high degree of overall efficiency.

The Reman program

At the Reman competence centres in Ettlingen (Germany), Nizhny Novgorod (Russia), Guaratingueta
(Brazil) and Burlington (Canada) used components are refurbished. Depending on the location, the port-
folio includes diesel engines, hydraulic cylinders, pumps and motors, travel and swivelling drives, as well
as rope winches, splitter boxes and axles. Depending on their budget, residual value of the machine,
and potential downtime, customers can choose between three different levels of remanufacturing.

32 Components by Liebherr
Exchange components
Customers receive an anonymous state-of-the-art compo-
nent with a new part guarantee. In the case of preventive or-
ders, the machine downtime is less than 24 hours. The used
component is completely disassembled. Individual parts that
can be refurbished are stripped of paint, cleaned, adjudged
according to strict guidelines, and then reconditioned. Cus-
tomers receive attractive refunds for used components.
General overhaul
The customers’ own components are restored to their origi-
nal technical condition at a fixed price. Components are also
completely disassembled and cleaned during general over-
haul. All wear parts are replaced, and a guarantee is issued
for the entire component.
Repair
Repairs are performed on approval by the customer of an
individual quotation. In the event of repair, a guarantee is also
issued for the entire component.
Environmental benefit
Compared to the production of a new part, Reman saves
an average of 70 % energy, and can reuse up to 75 % of the
existing material. Precious resources are thus saved, and the
impact on the environment considerably reduced.
